	<h2>Dream journal</h2>
	<p>
		I dreamed I&apos;d gotten a second job.
		I was sort of a do-whatever employee that performed whatever task was needed of me at the time.
		On my first day, I went through a filing cabinet and shredded the files that needed to be shredded.
		I can&apos;t for the live of me remember there even being distinguishing criteria about which files needed to be shredded and which didn&apos;t, but somehow, I knew.
		I also wore a headset and told people our drive-through was closed.
		This was some sort of firm that invented things, so I&apos;m not sure why we had a drive-through.
		It must&apos;ve been on my mind from when I did the same at my real workplace two days ago.
		After I was done with the paper-shredding, I nearly walked out, but then realised they might have more tasks for me and that I hadn&apos;t even clocked out.
		I&apos;d been too eager to clock out because it was really late.
		I hadn&apos;t been there long, but I had my first job too still.
		I asked my boss about other task, and they said I was free to leave, and I passed them the headset I&apos;d nearly walked out with, then clocked out.
	</p>
	<p>
		I noticed a meeting going on, and they were talking about the company&apos;s new metallic-looking fake fingernails.
		I looked around, and everything in the meeting, male and female alike, was wearing the nails.
		They believed in the company&apos;s product.
		I didn&apos;t think the nails looked all that great, but it made me feel like I would fit in in the company.
		It was a sign that they were open to disregarding gender lines.

		My discussion posts for the day:

	<blockquote>
		<p>
			The other course I&apos;m taking right now is on machine learning while this course is discussing $a[PHP] at the moment, so it&apos;s interesting to see a place machine learning and $a[PHP] intersect.
		</p>
		<p>
			I haven&apos;t done anything with content-management systems yet, though the concept is interesting.
			I&apos;m honestly not sure they could apply to my use cases though.
			They&apos;re a powerful tool, but I tend to directly manage files instead.
		</p>
		<p>
			It&apos;s interesting to see the model-view-controller paradigm implemented in $a[PHP] too.
			I guess that&apos;s not really a way I&apos;ve considered organising my code before, but Laravel shows how it can be done if I ever decide I want to program something that way.
			I might head over and take a look at it when I have time just for the educational value.

	<blockquote>
		<p>
			It took me a bit to understand what you meant by a skewed graph, because you presented a normal distribution as the alternative.
			These are very different concepts, not mutually exclusive states.
			A graph with a normal distribution can be heavily skewed.
			For example, adult human hight can be represented as a normal distribution.
			However, it&apos;s heavily skewed, as most adult humans are above a certain height.
			Min-max scaling doesn&apos;t alter the distribution, though does get rid of the skewing, provided outliers don&apos;t get in the way.
			Likewise, use of z-scores gets rid of skewing as well.
